[@Smoking_dwarf]

Thank you. This definitely upped my skintone game.

[@shawnc4240]

This is amazing! I didn't know so much was possible with 3 colours going dark mid and light! I'm going to try this!

[@Rytxyd]

I found your channel around 11 years ago thanks to the skin tutorial you made of the dude with scar on his belly. Thank you for all your work Doc! Love your work

[@marcbowling6451]

That was my intro as well while looking for malifaux tutorials

[@JennsHarsh]

GUY shows a NEW paint formula and "OH YEAH THE KEY COLOR IS NOT MADE ANY MORE" FFS OFFER A SUBSITUTION .... you are the creator of this one ON SITE with the paint , a suggestion would do wonders for your community ......

[@battleswithdicenmice4307]

@@JennsHarsh or you could just look for an orange that suits your eye. Experiment, try things out, you know? I don't have any of the colors mentioned as I like p3 paints but I can find ones that are very close in that line. This is an art not a science...literally.

[@trevorlambert5803]

Just want to thank you for your new skin recipe. My figure painting went to the next level.

[@philhack3731]

Great vid!

[@davidskipper1048]

Just wanted to say "Thank you." Your video demonstration and narration is informative and inspiring.

[@gbirdnonsense1084]

This was amazing, might steal the concept for some old witch elves

[@markgnepper5636]

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

[@tamsinp7711]

I switched from VMC Light Flesh to VMC Salmon Rose for flesh highlights last year; it looks quite close in colour to the AK Pastel Pink.

[@gbirdnonsense1084]

This is so satisfying to watch, i really need to grab some cheap barbarian miniatures to practice on

[@ianjhobbies]

Just been going back to watch your squig and gloomspite gitz projects as painting my own. Never thought I have been watching your videos for over 11 years! And I did not know you had patreon until I followed your Facebook link! Love your work and style. I have given so many friends a link to your work. In fact I bought a tile before a wet palette watching your videos when I was younger. You deserve far more attention on KZbin and thank you for all your videos and tutorials.

[@sbrevoltuion5]

Thanks for such a specific detailed tutorial, only thing missing is what these colors might be in other paint brands like citadel or army painter

[@Whichendup]

Wow that camera quality is excellent!

[@Io_Wreck]

Great looking skin. Loving the use of the glazes to add more depth and bring it all together.

[@jamescrawford8538]

I enjoy these vids because it helps me get better.

[@chaslester221]

Great vid. No nonsense or anything too tricky. I noticed you had the colors you were using at top right. Wish more people did that. Would be helpful if you kept the color you were using the entire time you were using it! Either way, thanks! Trying this recipe out right now!

[@joepilimai4604]

Love the mini your using bought it and will use this video as my next project

[@ATOMTAYLOR]

Tis a thing of flippin beauty. ;)

[@sgtbuckwheat]

"Dad bod" barbarian, I love that description.

[@TzarChelo]

Thank you for the tutorial looks great

[@silversscratchbuiltproduct6277]

I like this and I find it that if I like how something is painted I'll mix a bottle of all my shades and highlights. As far as glazes and washes I make them out of water colors

[@goforitpainting]

Professional as always.

[@SuperTexasBlues]

your patent pending cold palette... looks like a piece of ceramic tile... simplicity is almost always the best way!

[@wingwalker007]

Just snagged a few bottles of dwarf skin :)

[@jblade8028]

try Vallejo Game Color 72.066 Tan instead of dwarf skin tone. alternatively try some from 2 thin coats range i think dunc has a good dwarven skin tone.

[@darrengamer8189]

I just bought a bottle of dwarf skin in the new packaging, and the colour was a good match for my old bottle, but Maybe with better flow. Maybe it's a supply chain issue getting new stock to the usa?

[@carlomontoya]

It's amazing how you can paint light skin tone over black primer. I always end up with poor results - textured because of thick paint. I end of up stripping and just start over with white primer.

[@Finleysminiaturepaintings]

Absolutely love your work! I would love to see an object source lighting video though! I've done one, but the contrast wasn't enough I thought for me. Would love to see how you tackle one!

[@stefanblackadder5236]

This helped a lot!

[@crush3095]

omfg the mst3k sample at the end : )

[@jblade8028]

Vallejo Game Color 72.100 Rosy Flesh - New Formula Vallejo Game Color 72.108 Succubus Skin These also might be a good replacement for old dwarf skin. I use succubus skin and it's like a much punchier and "livelier" bugmans glow from Citadel

[@wingwalker007]

Could we see your recipes for different colour human skin tones please?

[@jamesevans886]

Great presentation, and I love your skin recipe, as it doesn't have an unrealistic pink tone. To me it looks like we have rediscovered the old skill of undercoats and then combined it with more modern techniques of layering and glazes.

[@ProrokLebioda]

I've been recently playing around with skintones on Darkoath Savagers. I've got to say that I've been using VMC Cavalry Brown as base, some shade with Heavy Color Violet and higlighting adding Sunny skin tone to Cav Brown, later pure Sunny, lastly adding some Ivory to Sunny skintone for highlights. I think it works nicely.

[@clanechelon]

Super interesting and useful for newbies like me... The only thing is that while learning, us newbie don't have a gazillion different colors and taint variation 😭

[@federicoriccomi7171]

Top!

[@FinanceMan]

What dilution of water for the layering? You just said much thinner.

[@Brian-yc4mi]

Will you sell this fig on EBay?

[@Sporkedphro]

If I want to add a little something to a ton of little minis (80), is it possible to just apply an ink or acrylic wash a bare plastic mini without it rubbing off? Or would you recommend any other solution?

[@andy-in-indy]

There is a similar color on Army Painter Barbarian Skin.

[@Wargoat6]

Would it be ok to paint skin with a dark color and then just glaze each color on top?

[@svennikolajsen6624]

When he is useing glazing, is the brush dipped on a paper towel just before painting?

[@ThePaintingClinic]

Yes. Very much so.

[@jasoncarpenter5974]

It gets super super glossy but it’s also available in the Marvelous Pigments line from Wizkids.

[@anealpilot6957]

Is there a color in the vgc range that matches cavalry brown?

[@jan0195]

I was having issues because I thought Dwarf Skin was a yellowish color instead of a pink/pastel color

[@thanasisgeronimos9124]

this barbarian had one too many beers.....ale .....with those muscles on his arms and thighs i bet that he should have a four pack....at least...if not a six pack

[@wowleonardo]

Didnt know Nick Valentine paint minis.

[@ColonelSandersLite]

"vallejo has reformulated it's whole line and stopped making this one" This is pretty much one of the big reasons I hate hobby paints. Glad I moved on to just regular art supplies. Looks like that's just raw sienna cut with a bit of titanium white for opacity. You know, with the usual sort of caveat that it's hard to be sure because of camera settings, color balancing done during editing, screen settings, etc. Your shade tone is just burnt sienna. Your highlight is just a light rose color. In the broader art world, this is a very basic common skin tone recipe. You seem to have rediscovered it in a very roundabout way.

[@dimsumboy22]

I think it would of been better to offer or look for a substitute since you made this video hyping everyone up and dropping the bomb that the key part is unavailable

[@TOAST-FACEKILLAH]

Just use a different paint or mix your own it’s not hard. You recipe nerds are so fucking weird sometimes 😅 red and blue makes purple ya dig?

[@JennsHarsh]

[@JennsHarsh]

:)

[@fitz394]

You ok? This post makes it seem like you aren't. Because it's more than a little unhinged.

[@FinanceMan]

He says it at about 8:25

[@hoshi314]

hmmmmm you're painting a dude, you use the same recipe for girl skins?

[@mightymartin4854]

Well, it depends on the type of skintone you want. This is for a healthier, suntanned skintone, so you could absolutely use it for women. I have no idea what he does, but for lighter skin, particularly for women, I use (and these are all Vallejo) brown rose for the shade, flat flesh for the mid-tone, and pale skin for the highlight. It's the same method as his, just with different colours.

[@TheEmraldz]

Are… Are you gendering skin painting techniques?
